Reason #47 To Love Alec Baldwin


According to Lorne Michaels, the exeuctive producer of "Saturday Night Live" and an executive producer of "30 Rock," Baldwin "guards against enjoyment." (Michaels is a friend of Baldwin's and was a model for the Donaghy character.) "I'll say, 'Alec, you have one of hte best writers in television'" - Tina Fey - "'writing this part for you. It's shot in New York, where you chose to live. You work three days a week, you get paid a lot of money, you're getting awards. It's a great time in your life. It's an all-good thing. And, if you were capable of enjoying it, it would be even better.'"
